Wow. Just…WOW. That was one of the greatest, most straightforward reviews I've ever gotten! Thank you much, The Truly Avaricious ! I wanted honesty and critique-and all you gave me was that and some encouragement! I'm so happy! It's a great honour to have your approval.

As for my first reviewer-and you know who you are, unless you've figured out that if your review is negative, you don't have to read further… I read the review and laughed. I mean, really, really laughed. The kind that makes you cry so hard you can't see straight, and when you try to stand and walk, you fall over.

When I receive a review, I expect three types: complete fluffery, which I absolutely adore (which is the 'this is so great omg i love it keep going -insert smiley of choice here-' type of review, in all variations of grammar and punctuation); honest critique, be it good or bad, with an explanation; or a flame telling me that I'm going to hell for writing yaoi and seeing someone of the same gender romantically.

What I do not expect, though, is someone telling me to stop writing. It didn't hurt at all-it just makes me laugh that I received that when there are people on FFN who have much worse grammar, form, and punctuation skills, and yet I receive the pointless, explanationless slam.

…At least they said 'please' :D I'm all for manners, people.

So, thank you's!:

My reviewers! I love each and every one of you, even those with negative things to say! At least you took the time out of your day to leave me a comment, and for that , I am so happy.

My friends! I know you guys are reading this (right? *looks around*), and I'm happy to hear your opinions vocally (such extensive explanations, because I can ask about specific things, and get great answers! That's freaking teamwork!)

But most of all… YOU! Yes, you! At the computer screen! No, not the guy behind you (unless he's reading this too?)! No, not the poster of Dean Winchester (hah, blatant Supernatural promo X3 You love me, NAL ~_^)! You, reading this! None of this would be worth ANYTHING AT ALL if you weren't enjoying what I write. Everything, my dears, is for you. Thank you so much.

Random authors you guys should check out! If you dislike rambling, skip the comments lol, but please check these girls out:

Now…On with the show. ~_^

After that day, Tails was officially living with Sonic the 'Hedgehog'. 'More like Sonic the overly-hard-headed,' he thought to himself as he pulled on a bright orange jacket a week later. They were finally having a 'welcome back' party, and people were flocking in from all parts of Mobotropolis and Knothole. He went to the kitchen and gathered some supplies for decorating Rouge's bar-she'd been kind enough to offer it up for the celebration, and most of their friends were there as Knuckles and Shadow kept Sonic sidetracked. With one last list-check, the 'fox' smiled and headed out the door.

Green eyes narrowed. "What do you mean, I can't go see Tails?" Amethyst eyes blinked back, and their red-haired owner replied, "Exactly what I said. You can't go see him right now, but we'll bring you to him later." Sonic frowned a bit, but nodded. "How long?" "Only an hour or so," Shadow cut in, putting a hand on both of the morphs' shoulders. He couldn't help a look of bemusement when he saw the impatience in Sonic's eyes-could it be that the shy fox would get his unsaid wish sometime soon?

"Amy, pass me the tape!" "Pass me the tape what?" Miles grit his teeth and ground out, "Pass me the tape, please, Amy." The annoying pinkette did so with a giggle and went about pinning up blue and gold balloons. Tails rolled his eyes and went back to taping up the 'Welcome back and thank you!' banner he and Cream had painted together.

The phone behind the bar went off and Rouge picked it up, answering, "This is the Russian Roulette nightclub, Rouge speaking. How can I help you today, honey?" Then she blinked. "He demanded what? Oh, that's cute! What? It is. And yeah, we can be done by then with a little more effort. See you then, Shadow." The bat morph put the phone down and turned irritated eyes on her workers. "Bad news-we have to have this done in an hour. Cream, go to the baker and get the cupcakes. Amy, go pick up the punch. Tails…" She smiled a little now and said, "You're doing good. Keep it up." Everyone did as told, and when only the fox and bat remained, Rouge turned to the youngest of the two and said, "He's rushing because of you, you know. He missed you like you missed him."

Tails flushed brightly and shook his head, pausing for a moment in his decoration to reply, "Maybe as much, but not the same way. Thank you, though, for waiting until Amy was gone to tell me that." Rouge smiled as she peered from behind black and white bangs, replying, "What are comrades for?"

"You guys didn't have to do this." Oh, but they had, because the look on Sonic's face was priceless. He looked around with a soft, 'wow…' and walked up to the bar, where Rouge was cleaning a mug. "What do you want, hot shot-blue typhoon or a kamikaze?" "A blue typhoon sounds nice, actually. I still can't believe you named Tails' drink after his plane… Cute idea, though, for a cute morph." He smiled at Rouge, but the wink was aimed at Tails, who blushed appropriately.

Four hours later-well past midnight-found the group dancing and laughing though the party had ended at nine. They were all drunk off their asses…except Amy. She hadn't had a drop of alcohol, but sure was acting like it-she didn't sit near Sonic, she sat on him, hand drifting across him inappropriately and being smacked away, rubbing her body against him only to get no reaction-which, even in normal clothes would've been bad, but she'd worn the shortest skirt she could find as well as a high-rise, low cut shirt.

She giggled loudly at something he'd said, and with glassy blue eyes, Tails glared at her angrily. He wouldn't be able to take much more. But when Sonic looked to Shadow and she shoved her hand down his pants before he realized what was happening, Tails stood and slammed his hands down on the table. "That's it." And he promptly hit Amy square in the nose, breaking it cleanly and making big tears well in her eyes. "Back off. He doesn't want you-he's made that much obvious by pushing you away and halting your advances."

A tanned hand covered his mouth, and Sonic's green eyes were almost steely. "Miles, go home. I'll talk to you there." His voice was equally surly, and Tails ears folded back as he shrank into himself submissively, and when he nodded, Sonic moved his hand so he could walk out the door.

A few feet from this door, Tails felt tears prick his own eyes-had he been wrong? Had he been welcoming the invasion of his space? Had he been merely playing hard to get to peak interest? Had his choice between the two the other day…been a farce? He began to run, and when he got home, he sat on the couch and stared at his shoes until he fell asleep, glostiks still around his wrists, neck, and ankles as he awaited his scolding.

Miles whimpered softly at the throbbing of his skull, curling in on himself to try and fix it. This helped none, and only served to make his stomach hurt worse. He forced himself to sit up and blinked at a piece of paper on the bedside table labeled with his name. He reached for it though his body protested, and opened it.

Tails,

Good morning, starlight. The earth says hello! ;3

I hope you've found the aspirin beside the table-there are four, which is the maximum you can take. There is a cup of water to take it with, as well as a can of beer-don't drink it quickly. If you drink it slowly, it eases your hangover. I made you breakfast-two of those toast-like things you like so much and a bunch of bacon… Still your favourite, right? Anyway, I left all that in the microwave. I'm sorry I couldn't bring you breakfast in bed, but I had to go help Rouge clean up-I'll be back before two.

Only get out of bed to eat, then get your bi-tailed butt back up here, curl back in your little ball and sleep some more-that'll help the hangover, too.

~Sonic

Now the fox-morph smiled a bit, shuffling to get the pills before deciding, hey... Maybe today won't be so bad.
